Tiger Corporation (President: Yoshisato Kikuchi, Headquarters: Kadoma City, Osaka) (“Tiger” or “we”), a world leader in thermal control technology, will release the Vacuum Insulated Bottles MMZ-50D on Monday, August 21, 2023.

These products designed based on the Disney 100 themes in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of Disney will be sold in a limited quantity only on Tiger’s official online stores*. The lineup features three designs of popular Disney characters: Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck, Pooh & Tigger, and Darth Vader from Star Wars.

The stopper has an antibacterial finish while the inner surface of the bottle has the Super Clean Plus finish that prevents stains and odors, and in this way the MMZ-K50D series features Tiger’s proprietary BioGuard hygiene design, so that you can use the bottle safely.

In an effort to protect the health of people, human rights, and the environment, Tiger’s vacuum-insulated bottles have been manufactured and sold under the four pledges of no conflict minerals, no fluorine coating, no outsourced production, and no plastic waste. Tiger Corporation pursues sustainability and this is exactly why we can offer vacuum-insulated bottles that have a uniquely good design and ensure safe use by users every day, taking into consideration the health and personal hygiene of users.

Using an antibacterial stoper and Super Clean Plus
(2) Tiger’s proprietary BioGuard hygiene design

The MMZ-K50D uses Tiger’s proprietary BioGuard hygiene design, which features a Super Clean Plus finish on the inner surface and an antibacterial lid, stopper, and stopper cover.

Bacterial growth is reduced by 99% or more compared to products without the antibacterial finish. * Plug with SIAA-certified antibacterial finish

The SIAA-certified plug with an antibacterial finish satisfies the three criteria of antimicrobial properties that prevent the growth of bacteria, safety that meets the uniquely established safety criteria, and appropriate labeling about the antibacterial finish or materials used. 

* Test result: 2.0 or higher antibacterial activity value for Staphylococcus aureus

The SIAA marks are symbols for antibacterial properties established by the Society of International Sustaining Growth for Antimicrobial Articles.
Products that meet the three criteria of [1] antimicrobial properties (*1), [2] safety (*2) and [3] appropriate labeling (*3) may carry the SIAA mark.

(*1) The proportion of bacteria on the surface of the product must be equal to or less than 1/100 that of a non-treated product, and the antimicrobial effect must remain after durability tests. Antimicrobial properties are determined from the results of tests conducted in accordance with the international standard ISO 22196.
(*2) The safety criteria uniquely established by SIAA must be met.
(*3) The types of antibacterial agents used and parts treated must be clearly indicated.

Super Clean Plus finish to resist stains, odors, and rust

The inner surface of the bottle does not use an environmentally hazardous fluorine coating. Instead, it is made with our proprietary Super Clean Plus electrolytic polishing technology to achieve the same level of stain resistance. The smooth, glossy finish prevents stains and odors, allowing the bottle to be kept clean with a quick wash.

The surface is also resistant to rusting, allowing you to put a sports drink in the bottle. (Clean the bottle immediately after use.)

A = Surface with Super Clean Plus finish (the smooth surface resists stains and odors)
B = Without Super Clean Plus finish (small bumps and crevices on the surface that attract stains and odors)

(3) Smooth surface of the mouth, like you feel when your lips touch the mouth of a mug

The rim boasts both the cleanliness and pleasant drinking experience of stainless steel.
The upper part of the rim was curled to reproduce the mouth feel of a mug.

Superior Temperature Retention

Tiger’s vacuum insulation technology keeps drinks hot or cold for about six hours. The copper foil between the two stainless steel walls supports temperature retention. Cold drinks will not cause condensation to form on the outside of the bottle, and hot drinks will not make the bottle too hot to hold.

Entirely washable body

The main body can be washed as a whole, so it is easy to clean.

*Please do not wash by soaking or wash in a dishwasher.

Reference information : The four pledges of Tiger’s vacuum insulated bottles

In order to achieve health consciousness, human rights consciousness, and environmental consciousness, Tiger has made the following four pledges for its vacuum insulated bottles: no conflict minerals, no fluorine coating, yes our own factories, and no plastic waste.

[Reference information] Efforts for circular economy

We believe it is our duty as a manufacturer of stainless steel bottles to carry out recycling-oriented manufacturing, and in 2021, we started a circular economy action to recycle resources by accepting and collecting used stainless steel bottles from other manufacturers in addition to Tiger products.
Through this action, we aim to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
